The stuff of spy novels

Gee, a political opponent of Putin's gets murdered. What a coincidence.

Well the noteworthy part of the story, I thought, was that all the traffic cameras were off for maintenance, and a utility vehicle was parked blocking the only remaining camera.

That implies either a pretty big conspiracy or a pretty big coincidence.

"Everything is bigger in Mother Russia!"
Even the coincidences, apparently.

Not quite up there with the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko but close.

He's KGB. All that's weird is that the guy doesn't do it more often.

I dunno. By the time somebody ascends to the leadership of a major world power, you sorta figure they're beyond political executions.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Seriously? Our presidents have ordered how many assassinations?
